Wolomin County

Wołomin County, located in the central part of the Masovian Voivodeship, was established in 1999 as part of the administrative reform. Its seat is the town of Wołomin, which is the most populous town in the county, and alongside it, the largest localities are Ząbki and Kobyłka. The county has a rich history dating back to the administrative changes of the 1950s, when it was first established, and its borders have changed multiple times. From an architectural and cultural perspective, Wołomin County boasts numerous heritage sites, such as two manor houses: one in Jadów and "Zosia" in Czarna, as well as beautiful palaces in Wola Rasztowska and Marki. The Holy Trinity Church in Kobyłka, built by Italian architect Guido Antonio Longhi, is another valuable example of Baroque religious architecture. The county is also a source of interesting facts, such as the Zofia and Wacław Nałkowski Museum in Wołomin, which collects exhibits related to local history. The history of the county, including its complex administrative transformations, reflects the significant dynamics of changes that took place in Poland after World War II. The demography of the county is also interesting; according to the latest data from 2020, the population was 251,276. Nature conservation in Wołomin County includes various reserves, highlighting the region's great biodiversity.
